Investigation of reviewers and reviewing strategy of scientific journals

[Purposes] This paper aims to explore the strategies for increasing the efficiency and quality of reviewing by investigating the current situation of journal peer review and profoundly understanding the attitudes of reviewers towards review behavior. [Methods] Based on the conventional peer review mode, we designed a questionnaire for reviewers to investigate the importance of peer review, review input, reasons for acceptance or rejection, incentive mechanism, and reviewer selection, and then analyzed and summarized the collected information. [Findings] The reviewers believed that the innovation and scientificity of the manuscript were the most important, and the review comments could significantly improve the quality of results and discussion of the manuscript. The actual review time of the reviewers was usually less than 3 days, and the 14-day review time limit was most recognized. At the same time, experts with senior titles or recommended by the editorial board were recognized as reviewers. [Conclusions] Editorial department can shorten the review time and improve the review efficiency by strengthening the communication with the reviewers, supplement and activate reviewer teams by appropriately selecting young reviewers, and construct a high-quality and efficient reviewer team by establishing a diversified feedback mechanism for reviewing.
